Only ashes left to burn
Nothing shall return
The world screams in pain
humanity wouldn't be the same
without destroying everything and everyone
The life is a constant struggle
it seems like we're living in a bubble
There is no help for the helpless,
there will be no hope for the hopeless
anymore
Only ashes left to burn
Nothing shall return
We have to be the change
There will be a chance
There's no hope for the hopeless, anymore
Can you hear them crying for love?
The love that they never knew
We have to be the change
Only ashes left to burn
Nothing shall return
I want my actions to be my afterlife
The rest is just spit on the pillow of my deadbed
I will become
The creator of peace.

Clarity And Reflection

We live in heaven, while we live in hell
In that moment, mankind ceased to exist
And I was casted away to live in fear
The choice you make mediate where you stay
No fucking books or priest will guide us the right way
For them we are only the prey, only the prey
We live in heaven, while we live in hell
Light is gathering together
Hearts driven by one oath
One purpose
Before my death I hope to obtain my life
Light is gathering together
Hearts driven by one oath
One purpose

Blind Glass
04:38
|

|
Again and again
Start over the selfdeconstruction
Covered in a haze of malfunction
Endless selfpittyness
For myself I only take what's best
There is no unconciousness to blame
It's all done on purpose
But the excuses are always the same
I spit myself in the face
And enjoy the destruction with grace
I push my face into blind glass
Still wondering why all the closed doors where made for me just pass
I'm in love with myself
until despair
again and again,
The pain is real
but I remain the same
Just me behind blind glass

Morbid Curiosities
02:40
|

|
When demons melt
And angels fade
When humans feast on their own hate
to become the missing link and die
Then giants shrink and dwarves begin to reach the sky
The leprosyworm crawls through the clouds
The stormleech bows down as the rainbow explodes
The wolves in the skyhall scrathing their itch
The sun has become the son of a witch

Imaginary Worlds
04:34
|

|
This fictional realm was to house the fears of the gods
But everyone knows that fears that live in imaginary worlds
only become more powerful and distorted as the ages pass
A warm smile that hides the dark sun is guarded by the bearers of gods wrath
Surrender your fires, to the one true heir.
Embrace the flame
Surrender your fires, to the one true heir.
The sun has fled from the legendary city of the gods.
Do you remember how it was before it's descent?
Do you remember how it was before it's descent into darkness?
Do you remember how it was before it's descent?
Once, illusions and deception
kept the earth bathed in gold
Now the corruption at the world's heart
cannot be concealed.
Time, fate and even death
are no match
for the bonds of loyalty
A warm smile hides the dark sun
The fire fades and the Lords go without their thrones
Now the corruption at the world's heart
cannot be concealed.
Embrace the flame

We are the bonfire of souls
Now, while the whole world drowns in destruction
Will the flame of peace and forgiveness shine for charity and cohesion
Until the end of time
We'll let the bonfire shine
Am I the only one, who is dreaming of a peaceful future?
Am I the only one, who will fight
War is money, money is power
Fill your barrel with a flower
Start lovin', stop hatin' and help the dude on the floor 'cause he's shakin'
People care about themselves and nothin' else
Save the comfort zone, casulties excepted
Drowning in the open sea is fucking hell
The internet killed empathy by injection
We are the flame, that never goes out
We are the light in the darkness
We have to break these chains, that keep us on the leash of peridition

Doomsday

Old world
How do you feel today?
What is the reason of your endless crying?
I can hear the expression of grief, sadness and hopelessness among your screams
The sound of your despair goes under my skin and makes me freeze
Humanity, what have you done to our holy mother?
What is all this destructive arbitrariness for?
Why just all this greed? Why not living in peace?
Ressources are looted
people are ostracized
and murdered in the sense of political and religious disagreements
Now, I stand here and look at the terror
All I can see, is destruction, exploitation, death and sadness
in the name of consumption and profit.
Old world
How has it come to this?
The earth has become the endless abyss
Old world...

Death Note

Truth has no religion
All religions were created by the beast
to enslave and mislead
with eyes to see and ears to hear
We won't live in fear of the darkest night
Spiritual healing, with the devil inside of your head
The devil inside
Cursed sinners get off
We won't feel another loss
Our storys can be written in stone
We're facing another genocide
Fighting through these sleepless nights
Our journey
An endless battle to see our home
We won't live in fear of the darkest night
Our journey
An endless battle to see our home
The death always lies around the corner
We're facing another genocide
Fighting through these sleepless nights
They say they're killing for god and honor
Spiritual healing, while dealing with the devil
The devil inside

Calamity
03:03

As the sky turns red, the calamity release from it's own death
I've been wandering through the darkest nights
Always searching for these endless burning lights
But, I'm haunted by my inner demons
I'm haunted by my own feelings
I can hear them clawing at the gates,
I can feel the hate,
Living a lie,
So many reasons to die
Saving the truth,
this was never enough
I can hear them clawing at the gates,
I can feel the hate,
A battle of life and death
Between two worlds
A banquet of thieves and cursed hollows
Well, my mind is a home for these evil creatures

This mindless consumption
Is blinding your eyes
How can you still be so satisfied?
It's your fault, earth is fucked
Now it is time for a cut
You don't need much to feel rich,
Stand up against the system and
fight this greedious leadership
Take care of the people you love,
The ones who will always keep you close
Fuck the pressure
Fuck the stress
Fuck this maelstorm of pure loneliness
The hardest part is to sacrifice
Losing your home and your loved ones
The hardest part is to sacrifice and
leaving it all behind
.Stand up
.And fight for your right
.Don't forget,
.You're a warrior of light
